When economies are thriving, people buy <br /> more, which increases the demand for recyclables that are used to produce new products. Also, when <br /> fuel prices are high there is a greater demand for recyclable petroleum-based products such as plastic <br /> bottles. Such economic factors and the overall strength of the global economy drive demand for <br /> recyclable material, the growth of single stream recycling infrastructure, and the expansion of collection <br /> programs at the local level. While a global market has supported recycling growth, it also means that <br /> market conditions—both positive and negative—are a reality that we must constantly manage in <br /> collaboration with our customers. <br /> Waste Management Material Marketing —A Team that Supports Global and Local <br /> Marketplaces <br /> As recycling programs and the ease of single stream recycling has been rapidly adopted throughout <br /> North America, the growth in recycling tonnage collected and processed has increased our supply of <br /> clean recyclables and has supported growth of a global commodity market. Today, Waste Management <br /> exports a third of the paper we collect to four continents. <br /> Since 2012, Waste Management has been able to sustain recycling programs through a persistent <br /> decline in commodity markets. We have relied heavily on the experience, relationships, and proactive <br /> efforts of our material marketing team. Our team consists of approximately 150 employees in the United <br /> States and Canada and nearly 25 team members stationed overseas. Their expertise in securing homes <br /> for our customers' materials, even during difficult economic times, has proven to be invaluable for the <br /> success of America's recycling programs. <br /> Waste Management's material marketing team supports each major International export market including <br /> China, Latin America, South America, and India. In addition to marketing to international customers, we <br /> seek opportunities to provide quality feedstocks to support local projects and markets and we are <br /> committed to developing local markets where it benefits the community and our customers. We target <br /> new markets based on global growth trends (GDP), new regulations, and the path of manufacturing. Both <br /> Printed on 100% 15 <br /> recycled&recyclable paper <br />
